The story Is told in The Church Re
view of a certain vlcnv near lllrmlng
hnin who had an amusing passage at
arms with Ills diocesan. It seems that
he had been In the habit of Issuing a
private manual of devotions In the
church without the bishop's consent.
On the front cover, be it said, was tho
uotice, in bold type: "Not to be taken
away. The property of the vicar."
By some means or another a copy of
the little book found Its way to the
palace, and a few days after the vicar
received a somewhat tartly worded
communication from the diocesan,
asking when his lordship had given
permission for the use of the mnnunl.
"My dear lord bishop," wrote the
vicar, "the same week that your lord
ship received tho manual, which, on
looking nt the cover, you will see Is
my property, my vestry clock also dis
appeared. If you will kindly send me
tho name of tin? person who stole my
manual it might lead to the apprehen
sion of tho person who stole my vestry
clock."

A Sharp Sivlntllor.
A fashionable young lady not long
ago drove up In a handsome carriage
to a private lunatic asylum, situated a
few miles from Paris, and requested to
see tue proprietor. Her wish being
acceded to, she Informed the doctor
that she desired to place her busband
under his care to see If a cruel mania,
under which he labored?viz, "that he
had lost a largo quantity of Jewels"?
could Dot be removed.
Afte sonic hesitation the doctor con
sented, and the lady drove away di
rectly to a Jeweler's In Paris and se
lected Jewels to the value of several
thousand francs and requested one of
the Shopmen to go with her in her car
riage to procure tho money for the
goods she bad taken. She drove with
him to the asylum, and, arriving there,
he was shown into a room.
The lady then sought the doctor, told
him of the arrival of her husband, and
getting Into her carriage again drove
away. The rest may be imaKtned, but
the poor fellow was confined several
days before it was found they both had
been "sold." Tho lady was never heard
of after. _
